Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

My PN is idopathic but I suspect the culprit is Agent Oraange that I was exposed to in Southeast Asia.
I had a spinal stimulator implanted in January of this year and within a month or so I began to notice a slight improvement. It hasn't been a game changer that I had hoped for but I wouldn't want to have it removed. If you decide to get one , you should have a trial period to evaluate it. My pain management doctor advised me to NOT have it implanted unless I could feel a marked drop in pain during the trial period. Pain is subjective so I thought that was good advice. I don't regret the implantation as the device has clearly reduced my pain. I hope you have a good trial that gives you the clarity you need.

I also had the spinal stimulator implanted in December of ‘22. The change isn’t that dramatic but we are still playing with adjustments. I do get discouraged though…guess I’m hoping for a miracle cure. Have you tried NeuroPure? I’m waiting on the package to arrive. I will try anything to get my life back.

The stimulator is the next step when I see the specialist next month. Glad you're getting some relief from it. Most of my pain is when I go to bed, and lasts for 45 minutes to an hour. If I have to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, the cycle starts over.
